Chapter 484 Fake Pregnancy
Xu Muhua pretended to chat with Pei Shaorong casually. After a long while, he saw that the maid was gone and then he gave her a look.
The two of them went into the inner room and asked Xiaoqing to wait outside.
"Muhua, what's going on?"
Pei Shaorong asked anxiously.
"Arong, don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly."
Xu Muhua simply explained the matter.
Pei Shaorong was shocked and puzzled, "But I don't feel any discomfort!"
Could it be that she was not poisoned? But if it wasn't poison, why did they add something to the medicine she drank?
"Arong, they don't want to poison you and harm your body, but... if you go to the imperial physician for a checkup, the physician will most likely diagnose that you are pregnant!"
"What?"
Pei Shaorong tightened her hands on the table and quickly figured out the pros and cons.
If she was diagnosed with pregnancy at this time, whether it was the Eastern Palace, the Emperor, or the Empress, they would definitely be excited and happy about the news. Rewards would flow into the Eastern Palace like water, and then the news would spread to the front court and outside the palace. Just when
everyone was excited and looking forward to it, her fake pregnancy was exposed, and one can imagine what kind of consequences it would bring.
Even if she would not lose favor in front of the Emperor, the Crown Prince would be affected to some extent. Not to mention the Crown Princess. Even if she talks till her mouth drops, saying that she is innocent, wronged, that she knows nothing, and that she really thinks she is pregnant, no one will believe her.
Everyone will only think that she deliberately made up such a lie in order to consolidate her favor, her position, or even for the Crown Prince's position in the court.
Such a thing will definitely become a handle to attack her and the Crown Prince in the future. Grandfather will also be implicated by her. Whether
the matter is big or small depends on how the person behind the scenes operates.
Pei Shaorong broke out in a cold sweat as he thought about it.
Xu Muhua reached out and held her hand, and felt that her hand was a little cold, "Arong, don't worry, things haven't developed to the point where they can't be handled. First of all, I think we should find a trustworthy doctor to come and check to see if it is really as I said."
Wu Ya would definitely not lie to her, it just depends on whether the timing is right.
Pei Shaorong nodded, held Xu Muhua's hand in return, and looked at her with some emotion, "Muhua, if you were not here now, I..."
She didn't know anything. If she really listened to what the palace maid said just now and asked the doctor to come. If she was really diagnosed with being pregnant, the news would definitely spread immediately. And she would not doubt anything at all, she would just be excited and happy, and then send someone to notify the prince as soon as possible.
"What is our relationship? How can I let anyone harm you?"
Pei Shaorong waited until she calmed down before calling in her dowry nanny and whispered a few instructions.
The waiting time seemed particularly long, and it was unknown how long it took before the nanny came in with her people away from everyone.
Pei Shaorong couldn't help but breathe more lightly while taking the pulse.
After a while, the imperial physician showed joy on his face.
Pei Shaorong took one look and her heart sank.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a happy pulse!"
The imperial physician raised his eyes after saying this, but saw two gloomy faces.
He was stunned for a moment.
What's wrong? The Crown Princess is pregnant, isn't that a good thing? It's okay if the concubine is unhappy, but why does the Crown Princess herself look unhappy?
"Doctor Sun, please take a closer look. Is the Crown Princess really pregnant?"
Xu Muhua stared at the doctor with a serious look.
Doctor Sun was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously: "Of course, this is the pulse of a pregnancy. Could it be..."
He paused, his pupils shrank slightly, and he realized something.
Could it be that the Crown Princess is pregnant?
His face became serious, and he said seriously: "Rong Weichen will take the pulse of the Crown Princess again!"
Pei Shaorong stretched out her hand.
Doctor Sun put his hand on Pei Shaorong's wrist and concentrated his mind.
In this way, he really noticed a problem.
At first glance, this pulse is indeed very similar to a pregnancy pulse, which can easily confuse people and make misjudgments, thinking that she is pregnant. But if you look more carefully, you can detect something a little different.
The pulse is not right. If it is a happy pulse, it should be strong, moving back and forth quickly without stagnating. The Crown Princess' pulse seems to be a happy pulse, but it is a little slow and stagnant.
After a long time, Doctor Sun withdrew his hand, frowning.
"How is it? Doctor Sun, can you confirm the answer now?"
After a long while, Doctor Sun took a deep breath, bent down, and lowered his head, "I don't think the Crown Princess' pulse is pregnant!"
As if the dust had settled, Pei Shaorong's tense body relaxed, her lower back leaned on the pillow, she closed her eyes and opened them again, looking at Doctor Sun with sharp eyes, "Then why do you think my pulse is like a pregnancy? If Concubine Xu hadn't expressed doubts just now and asked you to take my pulse again, would everyone in the Eastern Palace know that I am pregnant with the royal heir?"
Doctor Sun shuddered, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
"Doctor Sun, this matter is of great importance. You should know what to do without the Crown Princess saying more."
Doctor Sun quickly expressed his loyalty, "I am only here today to check the Crown Princess's pulse. The Crown Princess just has some food accumulation, but there is nothing wrong with her other than that."
Pei Shaorong and Xu Muhua both nodded. Xu Muhua said, "Also, you should find out the reason why the Crown Princess has this pulse as soon as possible. I suspect someone gave the Crown Princess a certain medicine, which will cause the Crown Princess to have symptoms of pregnancy."
Doctor Sun's heart moved, and he said, "I understand. After I go back, I will do my best to find out the truth."
"Remember, this matter must not be known to a fourth person, including the Crown Prince, understand? When the matter is investigated clearly, the Crown Princess will naturally confess to the Crown Prince."
"I understand."
Since the Crown Princess had some indigestion, she had to leave some prescriptions to stimulate appetite and digestion. Xiaoqing even watched the people boil the medicine herself, and Pei Shaorong drank a bowl.
There was no harm in drinking it, except that she got hungrier faster. She secretly ate a few cakes.
Of course, that's another story.
After Doctor Sun left, Pei Shaorong became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She was so angry that she didn't know what she was thinking about. She looked at Xu Muhua and asked in confusion, "Muhua, how did you know about this? How did you find out?"
She has only been married into the Eastern Palace for two days. She has been married for so long, but hasn't she controlled the news of the Eastern Palace as much as Muhua has in just two days?
